Every turpentine forest, no matter
how large, is divided into crops of
5000 to 10000 treess. The first step
in working virgin forest is the box
ing of the trees. For this purpose an
axe, much longer and narrower than
the ordinary club axe, is used, and
it occupies the time of two men for a
week or ten days in boxing a crop
The box is cut on the side OF the tree
most exposed to the sun and about
two feet from the ground. 1t is eight
to ten inches across the face and
about four inches deep, shaped some
what like buckets in a grain elevator.
Each bex holds from pint to quart
of turpentine. After the trees have
all been boxed they are left alone for

railroad, where they have a store and
where the distillery is located.
After a forest has been worked over
one time and all the turpentine has
been procured from the first boxing, it
is again gone over and back-boxed-
that is, the other side of the tree is
boxed and it is worked just as in the
first instance. From this working as
good yield is often obtained as from
the first, though the turpentine IS not
always of as good quality. After the
tree has been worked the second time
they are no longer of sny value as
turpentine producers, but are then cut
down and converted into lumber and
shingles. When forest of long-leaf
pine is cut down and destroyed the
growth which follows it is invariably
the short-leaf pine, which does not
produce turpentine; indeed it is fit
for nothing but fence-rails and fire.
wood.
The process of converting crude
turpentine into spirits and rosin is an
interesting one, and yet it is difficult
of lucid description. a still consists
simply of a large copper vessel and a
worm - The vessel or pot is built
up in strong masonry, with furnace
underneath By the side Of this tank
is built, in which Is placed the worm,
spiral-shaped coil OF copper piping,
and the tank is filled with water The
pot or still is then filled with crude
turpentine and cap > is placed over
the top OF the still. From the cap a
copper pipe runs to and connects with
the worm in the tank, care being
! taken that 80 crevice Is left through
which the steam can escape. X fire
Is then built in the furnace under thC
still and the turpentine is soon boiling
The steam generated by the bJiline
turpentine, having no other means o
escape, passes through the copper pip
ing attached to the "cap" and from
there into the worm in the tank. Th'
worm, being kept constantly covered
with cool water, condenses the steam
and it passes out Of the worm into ;
tank provided for the purpose, and i
then ready to be barrelled and ship
ped. During the process of boiling
care must be taken to keep good fire
for if it is allowed to die down th

about week, at the expiration of
which time the ground has to be gone
over again This time the boxes are
cornered, that is, two or three more
chips are taken from the corners of
the boxes, thus exposing little more
broken surface to the action Of the
sun, for it must be understood, no
turpentine exudes from the tree ex-
cept where the bark is removed. Now
begins the work in earnest. At inter-
walls of one week the crop has to be
gone over and each tree " Clipped
or hacked" This process consists
of beginning at the upper edge of the
box and at each round taking off a
strip of bark about three inches in
width, inclining from the outer edge
of the tree and converging in the
center. AS the bark is removed the
turpentine spontaneously exudes from
the tree and runs down into the boxes
which were first cut near the bottom
of the tree. When the tree has been
hacked as high up as it can be reach
ed, then comes the more .aborious
work Of" pulling" This is virtually
the same as hacking, the difference
being that an oval-shaped tool is used,
to which is attached handle ten or
twelve feet in length. The pulling"
is continued until the tree is stripped
| of its bark up about twenty feet, which
is as high as it can be successfully
worked.
During all this process of hacking
and pulling the boxes have to be dip
ped regularly about once week.
Barrels are placed all through the
forest at convenient intervals, and the
clippers provided with buckets and
small vessels for dipping the turpen-
tine out OF the boxes, 90 through the
forest and collect the turpentine
which has accumulated in the boxes
and empty it into the barrels.
All the work is done by negroes,
who are paid by the piece-that is,
they are paid SO much to do certain
work. For instance, after a crop OF
trees have been boxed, one man is
hired to do the hacking, another the
| dipping, etc., of that crop. One crop,
or 10, 900 boxes, is considered an aver
| age weeks work for one man in each
department of the work. The work is
superintended by a responsible white
man, who rides the woods at stated
periods to see that the work is proper
| ly carried on and to direct its manage
ment. The owners probably never
see the forest at all. They are located
at the most convenient points on the

A jackson County Curiosity which is

A jackson County Curiosity which is
Pronounced Stupendous.
Near the Great Divide, between the
waters OF Pigeon river and French
Broad, is situated the Devils Court
house, which rises to an altitude of
6,O49 feet. Near it is Court house
mountain AT both places his Satanic
majesty was believed to sit in judg-
meIt, and doom to punishment all who
had been wayward in courage, or had
departed from strict code of virtue,
though bravery in war atoned for a
multitude of sins.
The devil had besides these SUI
preme courthouse, where finally all
mankind would be summoned for trial.
This Was one of the great precipices of
the Whiteside mountain, situated in
jackson county, at the southern term
linus of the Cowee range. There is no
wonder that the simple minded pagans
supposed that nature had dedicated
this structure to supernatural use, for
it excels in grandeur the most stupen-
dous works of human hands. 1t con-
sists of perpendicular wall of gran
ite, SO curved as to form an arc more
than a mile long, and rises 1900 feet
from the moss-blanketed rocks which
form the pavement of an enclosed
court. About half way up there is a
shelf-lik projection, not more than
two feet wide, which leads from one
side to cave. This was supposed to
be the inner room of the great temple,
whence the judge of human conduct
would come to pronounce sentence at
the end of the world. That this i'm
portant business should be entrusted
to Satan is a NEUROLOGICAL incongruity.
A certain sorcerer, or medicine man,
taking advantage of the popular sup
erstition about the place, made the
cave his home, going in and out by
the narrow shelf. He announced that
he was in league with the spirits OF
the next world, and consequently
could 60 in and out with perfect SAT:
ETY., which fact caused him to be
recognized as great man. There
have been found, in the vicinity OF
Whiteside, Indian ladders-that Is
trees with the limbs trimmed SO as rc
form steps. What they could have
been used for we are unable to con
lecture; certainly not to scale the
mountain sides, for such thing would
be impossible.
